WHO WE ARE
The Ontario Formwork Association was formed in 1968 to provide a forum to members to discuss subjects of common interest to the formwork sector of the construction industry in Ontario. Since that time the Association has grown to reflect the needs of its membership in a business environment which has been, and continues to be, affected by an expanding economy and enormous changes in technology.

To date the Association is an accredited body, which represents over 50 employer companies and a workforce of approximately 4,500 employee’s in bargaining of a Collective Agreement with the Formwork Council of Ontario. We are members of Council of Ontario Construction Associations (COCA), Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (ISHA), and Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO). Our active participation in these Associations provides our membership with the benefits of industry wide knowledge and experience.

WHAT WE DO
The Ontario Formwork Association is able to put at your fingertips an enourmous body of proven knowledge and expertise both in management and in the field. Our members are at the leading edge of new technology and management techniques. Few construction associations, anywhere in the world can offer as much experience, both local and international. We have a genuine and deep rooted commitment to quality and take pride in the fact that our construction and management expertise can guarantee that a building is carried out quickly and efficiently at the best possible cost.
Concrete formwork provides considerable advantages over other construction methods including wood/structural steel in terms of durability, flexibility, safety, speed, sound insulation and cost effectiveness to name a few. It has a history for satisfying peoples desire for comfort and security in aesthetically pleasing surroundings. Take these advantages and add those offered by our Association and the solution to future construction needs become clear.

WHERE WE WORK
Most of our work is situated in the Province of Ontario, although our members have worked in other Canadian Provinces, United States, Mexico, Caribbean, Western Europe and the Middle Eastern countries. Ontario is Canada’s largest Province and construction is its largest industry with an excess of $25 Billion dollars a year focused on the building industry. Building and construction employs 12% of the Ontario workforce.
Its logical that an industry which is as large and important as Ontario’s construction industry would be at the leading edge of innovation in technology, project management, materials development, systems and techniques. The Ontario Formwork Association has been equally innovative in all of these areas and our member companies are generally regarded as leaders in the field – both at home and abroad.
